Although this prompt is similar to other background or community prompts, this one has a really interesting phrase: one of your unique identities. Theyre inviting you to think about the many different sides of yourself and the various environments in which you interact. So how do you pick which unique identity to write about?

To start generating topics, brainstorm words and phrases about who you are as a person. Think of your unique traits, values, beliefs, and formative experiences. How might your family, friends, teachers, coworkers, teammatesor perhaps even strangersdescribe you? Be specific, but dont worry about using full sentences; the idea here is to collect concrete details about your various identities.

Keep in mind that you dont have to focus on your culture, race, or political beliefs; you could discuss something as lighthearted as how youre known as the world traveler, the animal lover, or the ping-pong player among your friends.
